Hi :) Thanks :) The link answered most of my questions about fillable fields. It's good to see there are options such as text-fields and radio-buttons. I still think the old MS format is the way to go for sharing documents in the here&now but that ODF is the way to go for long-term storage. Thanks and regards from a Tom :) On 1 May 2018 at 17:33, Virgil Arrington <cuyfalls@hotmail.com> wrote:

I will use LO Writer for the task. I will then email it to my students and they will type their answers right onto the computer file and email it back to me. I need to get the file to my students in a format they can easily use with their computers. I will use .DOC for this purpose because it's the easiest solution to this situation.No, it is just the one you settled on. The easiest - and safst - approach would be to use Libreoffice to create the form, save it as a fillable PDF form, then send that to yourstudents.Okay, I've done some digging to find out how to create fillable PDF forms in LO. I found the below website that explains it somewhat. https://www.maketecheasier.com/create-a-pdf-with- fillable-forms-in-libreoffice/ I've tried it and it works fairly well. I'm still learning some of the nuances. I'll test it on various systems and I may use it for my current exam. I like the idea of using PDF instead of .DOC, and I think it may even be nicer for my students. I love learning new things that LO can do that I had never thought possible.
